Former state school employee Barbara Hutton, who retired in September 2016, saved $161,200 toward a pension over 32 years working for public schools, Teachers' Retirement System of the State of Illinois records show.

Over 30 years of retirement, Hutton would collect as much as $2.57 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Metro East Sun.

The projection assumes Hutton received $53,969 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.

After 3 years of retirement, Hutton will have already received $166,813 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the teachers' pension fund.
